UConn has been the gold standard in men's college basketball recently, winning back-to-back national championships under coach Dan Hurley. But as the Huskies go for the three-peat, some believe they still have ground to make up.

KenPom.com, the popular college basketball advanced analysis site, came out with its preseason rankings on Monday. It has four teams ahead of UConn, including Houston, Duke, Auburn and Alabama. The Big 12 leads all conferences with four teams in the top 10, led by No. 1 Houston.

The Big 12, ACC, SEC, Big East – and even the West Coast Conference – all have teams ranked ahead of the first Big Ten team, which is No. 10 Purdue. All the way down at No. 23 is the next Big Ten team, Illinois, giving the conference just two top-25 teams compared to the Big 12's eight.

While the Big Ten lacks top-end teams, according to KenPom, it doesn't lack depth or parity. All 18 Big Ten teams are ranked between No. 10 and No. 75, with Washington at the bottom entering its first season under coach Danny Sprinkle.

The college basketball regular season is set to begin on Nov. 4, so here are the KenPom preseason rankings, from No. 1 to No. 364. The 18 Big Ten teams are in bold.
